Good video. Shows many different techniques for different situations. Preparing them properly at beginning of season makes them easier to take care of during season. Sand Pro's can be time savers but also can destroy or damage smaller bunkers.
Ok...I do take some issue with this way of checking sand depth in bunkers. Moving that much sand with the foot would create an area of softer sand when filled back in. This would create pockets of soft vs firm sand in that Bunker. My preferred method is to use a flat shovel to probe the various areas of the bunker. Much less intrusive.
Seems like a ton of time wasted, honestly. We just use sand pros. This must be a course that doesn't have a lot of play... so they have time to spend like that fucking around on bunkers.
Sand Pro's wear down bunker edges and some bunkers are either too small or too deep for a Sand Pro. I don't think any greenside bunker should have a Sand Pro used in it.

His way doesn't mix the dirt in as much. Better over time.
Great video. Thank you
I always enjoy seeing the grounds crew change up bunker rake styles makes the game fun and more of a challenge if your aim was off a bit
Very nice maintenance
I love watching your videos
After reading the comments I feel like im not the only groundskeeper that would rather let the sand bunkers grow in
Hahahahhahahahah
If that's the only bunker on your course then you're good lol sand pro and rake the edges, job done
I wish our Head Greenkeeper and greenkeepers would watch this.
We don’t have time for all that there’s a lot of bunkers to get through.
very satisfying video with the time lapse
Fuck bunker care. I love working on golf courses but I detest bunkers. Our course has like 2-3 on each hole. Even worse when you have less crew.
yes let them grow in I say!
I just take the sand pro and use a leaf rake around the perimeter
Ryan Miller exactly. I’m an Assistant and I just use the pro with an aussie rake for the sides when done. Works like a charm.
Harrison Ryden Rutledge doesn't work if you have a concrete base :/
The flat raking of the facing is what we do as well. We do not want any uneven stances or worse, fried egg lies.
very good
It'll take the bunker crew at least 12 hours to make their way through 18.
Flat ranking adds A LOT of time.
Flat rake after the sand pro. Problem solved
Ha, I barely make it through 110+ bunkers on a 5040 sand pro in 8 hours.
you americans are a lot slower then us brits thats why!!!!!!
@@tom111869 no it doesn't, you will find the flat face will compact and does not need raked every day.
I had 96 bunkers to do on 18 main course and 9 hole short course only me 3 others set time to be done in 2 h 30 min had to be finished by 9am
Robert Andrew Bruce Thomson 4? Bro I'm normally alone or have one other person. You're lucky.
Woodbridge bunkers are either hard pan or way too much sand, also full of stones that ruin my wedges.
What sand do you use?
This makes me almost want to hit from the bunker. Especially that one
awesome video, whats that song though? love it!

TheCynicalDouche man fuck a sand pro, that fucking seat hurts my god damn back

Never . Damn thing will rip and wear bunkers in time.
Bottom line is
Gotta stay away and out of the trap😎
RIP my subwoofer at 0:53
LOL i feel you bro
seriously why is the music volume 300x louder than the voiceover
It's a hazard...
Correct.. not a black hole.
You should be able to play a golf shot from it.
He need 1 H 🤣🤣🤣🤣
